SHADES OF GRAY fuzz pedal series
After many requests for classic fuzz circuits packed into our tiny hand-made pedal format, we’ve decided to take the plunge. We’ll be using a 2-1/4” x 2-3/8” enclosure, which provides just enough room for two knobs, which will be Fuzz and Volume for all pedals in the series. Any other controls will be internal trimpots. While everyone loves a good FuzzFace or Muff, we’re leaning more heavily on less popular sleeper circuits to keep it interesting.

AMP SWITCHER amp foot switch replacement
For many decades, guitar amps have come with foot switches to toggle various features - channel switching, effects such as tremolo and reverb, effect loop activation, etc. These foot switches are typically quite large, difficult to integrate into a compact pedal board, and lacking in LED indication. We’ve solved all of those problems with the AMP SWITCHER, a tiny 2” x 2” box that integrates seamlessly into your already crowded pedal board. Powering the AMP SWITCHER is optional, but if you do, an LED will indicate when the amp feature is on or off (dip switches on the inside allow you to flip the activity of the LED to line up with what’s going on in the amp). This device works with amps that use simple latching foot switches, which most do - Marshall, Orange, Boss, almost all boutique. If you are unsure whether this will work with your amp, send us a note, and we’ll help with the detective work.
When ordering, feel free to specify what you want the label to say and what color LED you want.
